A Price To Run A Non-profit Shelter

Save The Animals Rescue Team II (START II), a non-profit, no-kill, all-volunteer animal rescue group located in Englewood with four other adoption sites would like for the public to understand how a non-profit animal shelter works with the little funds they receive. With 42 years in service to the North Jersey area, this group has a fabulous handle on its adoptions, fees and running a non-profit shelter.
START II, pays for FIV testing in cats which costs $15 per cat. A spay is $90 cat or dog, while a neuter is $75 for cat or dog. Distemper is $5, with Rabies vaccination at $15. De-worming at $10, with a Fecal at $10. Not including grooming, food, litter, laundry/cleaning products, cages, and all other maintenance for the shelter such as basic needs: heat & air conditioning etc. With just these few items listed without the additional costs of what a shelter may incur, we hope that this now gives those potential adoptors' the understanding when they adopt, not only are they saving a life but the volunteers are also saving lives on a daily basis out of their own will and heart.
A cost to adopt out a cat or kitten? $90 for female, $75 for male. Dogs ranges vary due to age, breed, puppy or adult.
Let's face it, non-profit shelters lose money and run a shelter out of love and compassion which is the reason why they continue to ask for help with donations, and additional volunteers. These groups are always fundraising to help with overhead costs. Unfortunately, nothing comes for free. Volunteers do not get paid for all their work not to mention the funding they put out of their own pockets to help animals in need. These dedicated volunteers work around the clock, dog walking, fostering, shelter cleaning, adoptions and so much more on top of working full time jobs. Volunteers are dedicated in their hearts and want the best outcome for any animal.
